Answer:
When it comes to representation of women in legislative bodies, India is among the bottom group of nations in the world. Women's representation has always been less than 15% in Lok Sabha.
On the other hand, the situation is different in the case of local government bodies. As one-third of seats in local government bodies (panchayats and municipalities) is reserved for women, there are more than 10 lakh elected women representatives in rural and urban local bodies.
